What gives a gas leak away?
Gas has an odourant added precisely so you notice it. These are the signs that point at the line rather than a stovetop left on:
- A rotten-egg or sulphur smell near the meter, the stove or a bayonet point
- Hissing you can hear when the kitchen is quiet
- Dead or browning grass in a line across the yard, tracking where the pipe runs
- Cooktop flames that burn lazy yellow or orange rather than crisp blue
- A gas bill that jumps without any change in how you cook
What should you do before you ring?
Safety first, always. A strong or sudden smell means everyone leaves the house first, before any other step.
- Leave light switches, power points and every electrical item exactly as they are
- Don't light anything, and put out any naked flame
- Shut the meter's control tap on your way out, but only if it sits within easy reach
- Call the gas network's emergency line from outside, then ring us on (02) 4063 1093 once everyone is clear
A faint whiff around an old stove is a different call to a strong smell filling a room, but the first moves are the same either way.
Finding It and Fixing It
Every gas fault job runs through the same four moves, whether it's a cottage near the rivers or a brick-veneer place in the post-war rings.
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 1093 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 02
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
Trace, then repair
Detectors sweep from the meter to every appliance, a locator maps the buried run, and the leaking length is replaced with new pipe and fittings.
- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
The whole line is pressure-tested once the repair is in, and each appliance is lit again and its flame checked before we pack up.
What feeds into the quote?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
- How far the escape point sits from the meter, since buried runs take longer to trace than a stove connection
- The pipe itself, because ageing copper with corroded fittings costs more to put right than newer pipe
- Access, as a leak under a path or slab means opening one section up
- The hour of the call, with after-hours attendance carrying a fee where daytime doesn't

When We're Not the Right Call
A smell you can trace to a bottle-gas BBQ or a caravan fitting on the wrong regulator is a separate job for whoever supplies or services that gear. A fault in the supply before your meter is the gas network's repair, not a quote from us.

The full range of gas jobs, from new bayonet points to cooktop installs, sits on the gas fitting hub. New cooktops and heaters for older kitchens have their own gas appliance installation page, and a gas fault that arrives with water pouring through the ceiling belongs on the emergency plumber page instead.
Gas Leak Questions From the Terrace
What should I do first with a gas smell in my Raymond Terrace home?
Get everyone outside, keep away from switches, and phone the network's emergency number from the footpath or a neighbour's place. Don't flip anything on or off, including lights and the stove. Once you're clear of the house, ring us and we'll bring the detectors to trace it.
Do you attend gas leaks in Raymond Terrace after hours?
Yes. Gas faults are treated as urgent at night and on weekends. After-hours call-outs carry a fee where daytime ones don't, and you'll know that figure before anyone leaves for your address.
Can a leak be found under the slab of an older cottage here?
Usually, yes. Detectors and a pipe locator follow the line's path and flag the escape point without lifting concrete. Only a buried line that's split in several places might need one section opened up, and the trace tells you that before any digging is quoted.
Is the repair done on the same visit as the trace?
Small faults usually are: a dried fitting, a kinked section or a failed bayonet can be swapped on the spot. A bigger repair is priced first, and nothing happens until you approve it. Every repair is pressure-tested before the gas is turned back on.
